Sorry but i see no comparison to the 1M, this is basically an updated 135i....

Kinda offensive IMO to be comparing this car to the 1M actually.

not offensive at all, natural actually.. i acknowledge the 1m is about 75% different than a 135i, whereas the M135 is prob only 35% different than a 135i, but similarities remain. Ppl are going to stick to the engine output, which is very similar b/t the 1M and the M135i as their basis for saying they're similar.

I very much doubt this is the final design. Just too simple to combine the greenhouse of the E82 with the front and lower body of the F21....
Not much designwork done, and IMO not worthy a new model name (2-series).

The basics remain the same. ie the typical classic BMW 2dr outline as does the bloodline from the F20 remain. The details will change though to define the car as the 2er.

But, words means things and I was not talking about the income dichotomy between 2 Countries either.

Just understand the context of my facts.. that Norway has less people (magnitude 50x less), on the internet, talking about BMW's than people in North America. If u have problems coming to terms with that fact, no forum can help you. Not a difficult point and not overly relevent to my response, was just a fact... that some seem unable to comprehend.

My point was that the ratio of negative versus positive comments about the looks was different in the American market. The number of forum users is not really relevant.
